Food-business cleaning context

Commercial Kitchen Cleaning and Food Hygiene Context

Commercial kitchen cleaning London should support the food business’s own hygiene systems, cleaning schedules and daily food-safety routines. LitMex provides cleaning services only; food business operators remain responsible for compliance, HACCP procedures, inspections and legal duties.

Cleaning Is One of the Food Hygiene 4Cs

The Food Standards Agency lists cleaning as one of the 4Cs of food hygiene and provides guidance for food businesses on cleaning effectively, cleaning schedules, suitable products and preventing build-up in food areas.

Read the Food Standards Agency food hygiene guidance

Clean First, Then Disinfect Properly

A visibly dirty or greasy surface can reduce the effectiveness of disinfection. Kitchen cleaning should therefore consider grease, residue, food debris, floor contamination and the difference between cleaning and disinfecting.
